Before his death, Mr Tudur, who lived in Y Felinheli , had spent the day watching rugby and drinking with friends in the village and in Caernarfon.

At his inquest, a friend told the coroner it “wasn’t out of character” for him to walk home. The inquest heard a path near the bypass offered the shortest route to his home.

The taxi driver said he did not see Mr Tudur in the road when he hit him, and North West Wales senior coroner Dewi Pritchard Jones recorded a verdict of accidental death.

Dafydd was a former pupil at Ysgol Morfa Nefyn and Coleg Meirion Dwyfor, who had studied law at Aberystwyth University.

Colleagues and former teachers described him as a talented and enthusiastic individual who “lived life to the full”.

Speaking soon after the tragedy, his father said: “This has been a huge shock to us all. There will be a huge gap in our family after Dafydd Tudur, but we also give thanks for 27 wonderful years full of happiness that we had with him.”
